360* Rotating Back Blade Project

Now a special reply for Rob -

Aw shucks Rob - You are very welcome. Just a small token of my appreciation for all the machining you did for me.

You can stash your tractor electrical kit away in the case up at your Three Rivers Camp (soon to be home). One day when the dust settles and your Barn / Shop is complete, you can install, at your leisure, some of the additional upgrades you want for your tractor. Esther and I would love to travel out in our RV to visit you and Loretta, and to check out your Log cabin home when it's complete. I could help you install all the goodies on your tractor, that is, if you have not already got to it by then. Did you open the "Packing List" envelope taped to the outside of the box? To me, that is more important than everything that was inside. See you in a couple of months.

Larry,

Larry
No I didn't, but I'm going to do it now as I type. It's a good thing I didn't throw the box away ... LOL ... that's what I did with the packing envelope the Jeep license plates came in. And apparently, taped to the outside of the packing envelope was the DMV registration and sticker! ???

OK I got it cut off and am reading it now....

It is a personal letter from Larry thanking me (again) with all his heart for what I did. It is truly a moving letter Larry, written with sincerity and deep emotions.

I'm so glad you posted this because the box was ready to be thrown out and I would have never gotten this letter from you. I will keep it inside my new electrical tool kit you gave me to remind me forever what a tremendous experience we had doing these projects together, and also to remind me what wonderful friends we have become.
Thank you so much,

Boy I just spent an hour and a half going through this entire post. I was enthralled. Great piece of work from both of you. Seriously, I spent 28 years in the AF working on weapons of all sorts and the machine work was just as good as anything I ever saw out of Sandia labs. WOW

Wow, I had no idea it takes that long to read the entire post from start to finish? I sure am glad you took the time to check it out and take the time to reply --------

EdC - ....."and the machine work was just as good as anything I ever saw out of Sandia labs"

Sandia Labs as in Albuquerque, NM ? and the Air Force Weapons Lab as in Kirtland AFB ? I worked for the AFWL from 1977 to ~ 1982 on the A.L.L. project. Where you there then? We may have either worked together or passed one another going in & out the security gates. I still do work at Sandia Labs when I'm needed every now and then.

No, I never worked at the Labs. I was active duty Air Force and was a maintainer. Took bombs and reentry vehicles apart, swapped out parts, put 'em back together for 28 years. I was TDY (short trips of about a week or so) down to Sandia quite a few times in the early and mid eighties but never stationed there. I always admired the engineering and thought that went into the things made there.

My son is retired Air Force and now works at Sandia in New Mexico. Won't tell me what he does. Said he would have to kill me if he did.

Was the "letter" written on "bank" stationery?

Great project, great documentation and you made a great friendship out of it. This web site is one of my favorites for theese reasons. Its amazing to me that people "get to know" each other enough on an internet site to fly 100s of miles to help each other out with a project. The deversity of our backgrounds, different levels of experience and education all add up to make a great site.

Rob,
That reminds me of when I was young, getting a present along with a card, I would open the box first to get to the present....then throw away the card that had the cash in it . I'm pleased you found the personal note from me.

When (if it ever) dries up, I'll get some action shots of it cutting into some decent dry dirt.

That all for now -

Some of us are still waiting on the updated report Or do we have to wait for Rob to show up later this month to get the full blown tutorial?
